Research Project: 

Enhancing the Productivity of Meadowfoam as an Industrial and Edible Oilseed Crop Kling, Jennifer, Crop & Soil Science, Campus Mallory-Smith, Carol , Crop & Soil Science, Campus Stevens, Jan Frederick, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Campus Environmental: 2 Economic: 3 Social: 1 [Profiles are on a scale of -3 to +3. A blank means that category is not applicable in this case.] Meadowfoam, a relatively new crop, is grown for its oil that so far has been used in cosmetic products, with promise for industrial, medicinal, and food product markets. This project is developing superior cultivars with increased seed yield and higher oil concentration; resistance to lodging, disease, and pests; and unique nutritional and chemical traits. Herbicides are being evaluated, and new uses for the seed and oil, developed. back to top

Research Project: 

Weed Management in Agronomic and Horticultural Crops Mallory-Smith, Carol , Crop & Soil Science, Campus Riera-Lizarazu, Oscar , Crop & Soil Science, Campus Ball, Daniel A., Crop & Soil Science, Columbia Basin Ag Research Cntr Peachey, Ed, Horticulture, Campus Hulting, Andrew, Crop & Soil Science, Campus Butler, Marvin, Crop & Soil Science, Central Oregon Ag Research Cntr Environmental: 3 Economic: 3 Social: [Profiles are on a scale of -3 to +3. A blank means that category is not applicable in this case.] This weed science project provides research on the management of weeds in agronomic and horticultural crops. The research is multidisciplinary combining many of the basic sciences. The report describes two subprojects: (1) the introgression between the weed, jointed goatgrass, and wheat and (2) gene flow from transgenic creeping bentgrass fields back to top

research project: 

Weed Management in Horticultural Crops Peachey, Ed, Horticulture, Campus Lambrinos, John, Horticulture, Campus McGrath, Daniel, Horticulture, OSU Extension Linn County McReynolds, Robert B., Horticulture, North Willamette Research & Ext Cntr Mallory-Smith, Carol , Crop & Soil Science, Campus Environmental: 0 Economic: 3 Social: [Profiles are on a scale of -3 to +3. A blank means that category is not applicable in this case.] Weed management is a costly, but absolutely necessary chore, for Oregon's horticultural crop growers. This project researches existing and alternative weed control systems and materials, evaluating their comparative efficacy and economic efficiency, while seeking to avoid potentially adverse environmental effects. The aim is to find and communicate improved, less costly control systems that are environmentally benign. back to top
